Egon and Janine walked into the firehouse the following morning looking
like two guilty children. They walked over to Janine's desk.
"Last night was nice, Egon," Janine said. She smiled "We should do it again sometime."
"Yes," Egon agreed. "I must say I was a fool not to do this earlier."
"Stop beating yourself up, Egon," Janine replied. "It's getting a bit annoying."
"Sorry," Dr. Spengler apologized. "I shall be like my usual self."
"Hey, lovebirds." Janine and Egon turned to see the Egon's cousin finishing up tying her robe. "I guess you two had fun last night." They exchanged a look than looked back at her.
"What did you do to your hair?" Janine asked. "You cut it and dyed it."
"Streaked it," Dani corrected. "I wanted a change and this is what happened."
"Is there a supposed Fairy Godmother involved?" Egon inquired giving her a concerned look. Janine hit the man in the arm and Dani gave him a funny look.
"No," she answered. "I went to the salon yesterday and paid like sixty bucks for this. If I could have done it magically I would have. Saved myself a few dollars."
"You don't want to do it that way," Janine told her. "That's going down a bad road." The young woman gave the secretary a look as well. "I'll tell you later."
"What are you doing up so early?" Dr. Spengler asked.
"Well, I was thinking about going to the gym, but I changed my mind. I figured I give my muscles a rest."
"Is Raymond in your room?"
"No. He went upstairs with Peter around three in the morning. We all had a nice long talk." She yawned. "I bet they're still sleeping."
"A talk?" Egon repeated. "Did something happen?"
"Yeah, but I think I'll wait until Winston comes back. It involves everyone and he's the only person not here."
"Why isn't he here?" Janine asked.
"He went home with Tammy," Dani answered. "I told him to invite her over for dinner last night and he ended up going home with her. It was a nice evening. Probably not as exciting as yours, but it was nice."
"Look, Ray," Peter said as he and Dr. Stantz came downstairs. "It's Spengs and Janine. I bet they had fun last night."
"Now that we have established everyone has had their fun let us focus on what Dani needs to enlighten us about," Egon said with a look at his psychologist friend.
"When Winston gets here," the red-streaked blonde repeated.
"Winston is here." The black man joined the group around Janine's desk. "He's tired, but he's here."
"We should discuss this upstairs," Dani said. "It kinda requires everyone to be sitting down."

The group stared at the young woman from the table even after she had finished telling them all what she had already said to Peter and Ray.
"That's quite a nightmare," Winston commented.
"You've been seeing a psychologist?" Dr. Spengler said. "Why did you not inform us sooner?"
"Because I didn't feel that I needed to."
"It's my fault, Spengs," Peter told the physicist. "I suggested she go after it didn't work out with the two of us. Mike's a good guy. You might remember him from Columbia."
"Mike Grobin?"
"Yeah, that's the guy."
"As I recall he worked just about as hard as you did in college," Egon replied. "I must say I'm rather intrigued in how he managed to get his own practice."
"I'd hate to interrupt, but we have a more important task at hand," Janine interjected. "We aren't sure if Dani's nightmare is really a nightmare or some vision."
"I seriously hope it isn't a vision," Winston responded.
"We can't rule out that possibility though," Ray said. "Perhaps by letting Dani relive it over and over she can figure out how to deal with it before it actually happens."
"No," Dani said. "I don't want the responsibility of having to figure this thing out on me. I hate that kind of pressure. You guys think of something."
"I could do some tests," Dr. Spengler told her. "However, it's quite I possible I won't find anything."
"You could let her sleep with that dream thing," Dr. Venkman suggested. "It did wonders for me when I was having those nightmares."
"That would merely allow her to get a full nights sleep," Egon responded. "We want to figure out the cause of these nightmares."
"How about hypnosis?" Zeddemore jumped in. "Pete could figure out if it's a subconscious thing or if something put the nightmare into her head."
"How about not?" Peter replied. "Hypnosis could only make it worse and it doesn't always work. Not one of those exact science things. It's not like she can't remember something. The thing is she can remember and we're just worried if it'll come true or not."
"I vote for not," Dani said. She sighed. "The phone's going to ring." The phone rang just as she finished the sentence. Janine got up and answered it.
"Ghostbuster Central?" The secretary started writing down information on the pad of paper next to the phone. "Alright. They'll be there in half an hour. Just tell your men to not go in there anymore." Janine hung up the phone.
"What is it, Janine?" Ray asked.
"Well, they aren't sure. Some of the guys think it's a ghost, while the others believe it's some kind of demon. It got some guy and he's now at the hospital going on about how nothing is right or something."
"Where are we going?" Peter inquired.
"Construction site on Broadway," Janine answered. "They think they have it locked up in one of the rooms."
"Let's go," Winston said. He took the piece of paper for Janine and the guys started toward the stairs.
"Wait," Dani said. They turned around to look at the girl. "The tail. Watch out for the tail. Especially you, Peter."
"Gotcha," Dr. Venkman replied. "Tail is bad." The Ghostbusters continued down the stairs and drove out of the firehouse.
"Last night was nice, Egon," Janine said. She smiled "We should do it again sometime."
"Yes," Egon agreed. "I must say I was a fool not to do this earlier."
